Garrett T-3 Turbo

Posted By: winehippy On: 12-30-2007 @ 03:36:20         Reply | Edit
Does anyone know if this turbo can be set up for a 455.I`s made for a 1980 301cui pontiac motor.
It seems as though it might be able to work with some mods.
Anyone have any knowlege of this turbo and any applications it may have?
455 Turbo?hhhmmm?
All input welcome and thanks in advance!
Tanks,
Tony

I think It was done by Joey in fast cars hot rods .I th1nk there is a 1' deck hight issue that comes into play but I might be wrong.Well the result was a 455 headache that no matter what mods were done it was a boat ancor.You would think basically easy thing.Machine a couple parts make a few mods and just let er rip but no go in my book if I remember correctly!Check out keene and bells twin screw idea but you gotta stick it to the hood.
